2004 Nissan Titan SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

FRONT ROTORS WARPING WHICH CAUSES POOR DRIVABILITY AND DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL BRAKING CONDITIONS. NISSAN HAS ISSUED A TSB AND VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER THIS TSB AT 4000 MILES, PROBLEM RECURRED AT 7500 MILES. NISSAN SERVICE STATES THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WILL AGAIN SERVICE AT NO COST. I AM UNAWARE AT THIS TIME IF THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *NM

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2004, TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE SLIGHTLY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT AROUND 7000 MILES. HAD BRAKES/ROTORS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 11000 MILES WHEN THE SHAKING MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM NOW AT 17000 MILES AND THE TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING. STARTS OFF AS A SLIGHT SHUTTER, AND PROGRESSES TO THE POINT WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL PRACTICALLY SHAKES OUT OF DRIVER'S HANDS. *AK

20'04 NISSAN TITAN ON SECOND REPAIR FOR WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. FIRST REPAIR AT 5000 MILES, AND SECOND REPAIR AT 7500 MILES. *AK

BRAKES FAILED AT 2600 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH. BRAKES WOULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. BRAKES HAS BEEN CHANGED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE BRAKES WERE WEARING OUT.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS, DISC, AND BRAKE PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM TWICE. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

MY NISSIAN TITAN HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IT HAS SERIOUS FRONT END VIBRATION. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, NEW ROTORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME WAS ON 28 FEB. THE DEALER STATED THESE WERE NEW ROTORS AUTHORIZED BY NISSIAN AS THE FIX FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE. AFTER THE NEW ROTORS WERE INSTALLED THE VIBRATION IS NOW WORSE THAN ITS EVER BEEN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ANSWER ANY EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER, AT ABOUT 2,500 MILES I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SITUATION DETERIORATED OVER THE NEXT THOUSAND MILES OR SO UNTIL I COULD FEEL THE SHUDDER WHEN I USED MY BRAKES GOING JUST A COUPLE MILES AN HOUR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THE PADS AND MACHINED THE ROTORS WHICH TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THIS WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURENCE I WASN'T ELLIGIBLE FOR THAT REPAIR.*AK

TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE ON THE FRONT BRAKES BECAUSE OF SHUDDERING AND EXCESSIVE WEAR. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE REP THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDERSIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR KIT WOULD BE ORDERED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND PADS. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY NISSAN OF ANY DEFECT IN THE BRAKES. IT TOOK 2 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS IN BUT NOT THE PARTS THEY HAD DISCUSSED. THEY TURNED THE ROTORS BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED REPLACED A CONTROL ARM AND REPLACED THE PADS. MAKING THE ROTOR THINNER AND REPLACING THE PADS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATED ANOTHER "REPAIR KIT" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN APRIL OR MAY. MEANWHILE I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE BRAKES BEING ADMITTEDLY UNDERSIZED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VERY HARD TO CONTROL AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. HAD IT REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP AT 9K MILES, ITS BACK AGAIN AT 13K. I CANT BELIEVE NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS YET - ITS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND EVEN WORSE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD.*AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE IN NOVEMBER OF 2004. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A LITTLE OVER 4,000 MILES THE BRAKES STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE AND ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND GROUND THE ROTORS AND THE PROBLEM APPEARED FIXED. AFTER ANOTHER 2,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED FURTHER AND FURTHER CLOSER TO THE FLOORBOARD TO GET BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE ALONG WITH THE PEDAL. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THE ROTORS WERE TURNED AGAIN APPEARING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 200 MILES THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE AGAIN. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PEDAL HAVE NOT STARTED TO VIBRATE YET BUT GOING WITH THE PAST HISTORY OF THE PROBLEM IT SHOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. THE PROBLEM COULD NOT ONLY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO NO BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED BUT ALSO VIBRATION FROM APPLYING PEDAL. LASTLY A TRUCK WITH ONLY 6500 MILES SHOULD NOT KEEP GETTING THE ROTORS TURNED OVER AND OVER. *AK

WITH 7000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A TERRIBLE CASE OF SQUEALING BRAKES, WHERE NISSAN REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS. NOW, WITH 14000 ON THE ODOMETER THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED TERRIBLE SHUDDER OF STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER HAS ORDERED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS FOR ME, WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING, STEERING WHEEL AND VEHICLE VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE ALSO PULLED TO THE LEFT WHILE BRAKING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO TURNED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. *AK THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 4000 MILES DUE TO WARPING. *NM

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL VEHICLE VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NUMEROUS TIMES. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

THE BRAKES FAILED EVERY TWO WEEKS. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS SEVEN TIMES FOR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

EXCESSIVE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES IN 16000 MILES ROTORS WERE TURNED ONCE HAPPENED AGAIN THEN ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED THE 2ND TIME NOW HAD TO TURN ROTORS AGAIN. *JB SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT THEY SAY IM TOO HARD ON MY BRAKES AND I KNOW THAT'S BULLS.. *JB

4000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE. THE BRAKE PEDDLE ALSO PULSATES WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. *JB

SAME WARPAGE OF FRONT BRAKES. DEALER SAID ALL THEY ARE DOING IS TURNING ROTORS. IF THE SHUDDER CONTINUES, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CALIPER BRACKET BREAKS? *JB THE CALIPER SPINS AND TEARS THE BRAKE LINE LOOSE, WOW NO BRAKES. NISSON WILL BE SUED IF THIS IS NOT FIXED QUICKLY.

BRAKE KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS, SHAKE VIOLENTLY ENOUGH TO BE ON THE EDGE OF LOOSING CONTROL IN WET CONDITIONS. *NM

FRONT END OF VEHICLE HAS TERRIBLE VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING CAUSED BY OVERHEATED AND WARPED FRONT DISC BRAKE ROTORS. FRONT BRAKES ROTORS AND PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER TWICE (AT ROUGHLY 6,000 AND ONCE AT 11,093 MILES). THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS AT THE 11,093 MILE SERVICE ARE REDESIGNED ROTORS INTENDED TO FIX THE RECURRING PROBLEM. AT 17,752 MILES THE PROBLEM RECURRED AND THE NEW REDESIGNED ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED BY THE DEALER. *NM

SERIOUS BRAKE VIBRATION PROBLEM, STARTED WITHIN FIRST 2K MILES, CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED 4 TIMES IN 5 MONTHS. VIBRATION (SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL GETS WORSE AFTER APPROX. 2K MILES, ALMOST UN CONTROLABLE BY 5K MILES).I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALER ON EVERY REPAIR THAT THIS PROBABLY WOUDN'T REPAIR THE PROBLEM. NISSANS CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN NO HELP. FILED CLAIM WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE ON 2-4-05. DAY 12 AND STILL NO RESPONSE FROM NISSAN. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.*AK

DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON ALL NISSAN TITAN TRUCKS MANUFACTURED TO DATE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES EVERY 4000-4500 MILES. THEY SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND COULD EASILY CAUSE A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD RECALL ALL NISSAN TITANS AT THIS TIME FOR A PERMANENT REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. I NOW HAVE 9300 MILES ON MY NEW 2004 TITAN AND AM CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD SET OF FRONT BRAKES.

WARPED ROTOR. NORMAL USE. 6K MILES. 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. DEALERS "FIX" IS TO TURN THE ROTOR AND MAKE IT THINNER RATHER THAN REPLACING IT WITH A HEAVER PART. *JB

THE CONSUMER HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED FIVE TIMES DURING THE PAST YEAR. WHEN TAKEN TO GET SERVICED, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *AK THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF WARPING. *SC

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, WHICH I BOUGHT FROM EAST CAROLINA NISSAN. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED PARTS EACH TIME. THE BRAKES STILL DO NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I WROTE THE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE WOULD NOT REFUND MY MONEY OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE UNDER THE FEDERAL LEMON LAW. *NM
